resolution review: book learning
✰ #9: recommit to reading and studying.
unlike many of my other goals for 2010, this one actually did have a MICRO component: i proposed 30 minutes spent (outside of work) either reading or studying, 5 days per week.
since i passed the boards* (yay!) and got my grant finished (double yay!), i wouldn’t call this goal a total fail. however, there are always new challenges on the horizon, and there is SO MUCH to learn in the field of endocrinology!
i’ve already decided that i would like to be more specific in my goals for each week:
now i just need to figure out how to remain focused and disciplined when fear (ie: a $2000 exam; a 25-part grant) is not in the picture.
* since i now feel confident that my study method worked and i know there are peds residents reading, here is another link to the prep calendar i made with 5 weeks until the test (scroll to sept/oct 2010 to see the entries). i primarily studied from laughing your way and did PREP questions. feel free to

I think I missed when you got your official results from the boards. Congrats! Not that there was really a chance you wouldn't pass :).
Sarah– if you would like an ocean scene, Eric has quite a few on his website (www.photoalchemist.com)– if you seen anything you like we can get you a print!
MS: thank you!
aimee: ooh i'll have to show josh & see what he thinks!
girlinmaths: it's the national board certifying exam to be a general pediatrician. since i am specializing, it doesn't mean that much but i had to pass that in order to sit for endocrine boards, so it was important! plus, it was $2000 and i would have been really sad to have to shell that out again . . .
your other question = future post 🙂 thank you!
Loved the smorgasbord – gotta love fun leftovers!
